hi there
any afterFX or combustion users out there,
is there a way of distorting a layer in such a manner as to give it perspective, as can be achieved with the "free transform" tool in photoshop, with either of these aps?
i am aware that this could be achieved with the use of 3D layers, but this seems a bit of a clumsy way of achieving accurate perspective when, say, attempting to composit fake graffiti over a wall shot at an angle.
any thoughts greatly apreciated,
many thanks,
alex

Vegas and Pinnacle Liquid allow u to manipulate ur screen in 3d space using perspectives etc
Obviousl AE ad Combustion do this as well, but if u have access to any of the above, give them a try. Even if u use the Vegas trial version, u can do this then render out as AVI
